Abstrakt: The initial United States cooperative experience with the EDAP LT-01 second generation piezoelectric extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptor using ultrasonic guidance is presented. Particular to the machine are lack of radiation exposure, no need for anesthesia, a purely outpatient procedure, no electrocardiographic problems, a high degree of safety and a paucity of complications. The equipment is described briefly. The same machine currently is being used to destroy renal and biliary stones.
